Mars Petcare US is the largest pet food distributor in the United States, with a market share of over 25%.

The primary function of a pet food distributor is to purchase pet food from manufacturers and sell it to retailers.

Pet food distributors face a number of challenges, including increasing competition from online retailers, rising costs of transportation and logistics, fluctuations in the prices of raw materials, and changing consumer preferences and demands.

Pet food distributors ensure the quality of the products they sell by conducting regular audits of their suppliers, testing the products they receive from their suppliers, providing training to their employees on food safety and quality control, and implementing strict quality control procedures in their warehouses.

The key trends shaping the future of the pet food distribution industry include the rise of e-commerce, the growing popularity of premium and specialty pet food products, the increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly pet food products, and the consolidation of the pet food industry.
